Glad to have you in this group. Lot’s of nice talented people here, always willing to help. GMRS is a great replacement for Citizens Band. With 50 watt max base station and mobile radios, along with high quality portable radios (walkie-talkies), it allows for perfect 2-way FM communication. Some include the National Weather Service alert band which can be a life saver when you’re out in the middle of nowhere! NWS transmits at 1000 watts, FM.
There are over 750 Weather Radio transmitters across the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories, and the number is growing.
Once again, welcome aboard.
